About Anthony
I'm Anthony Holmes, the person behind The Bearded Marketer and a marketing specialist with Localsearch. I bring 15+ years of experience in sales and account management, including 5+ years with Coca-Cola in the fast-moving consumer goods sector.
Running a business takes time and energy. Knowing whether your marketing is bringing in the right enquiries, or what needs to change when it isn't, can be difficult to untangle. That's where our conversation starts. I take the time to understand what's working, what's frustrating you and what you want your business to achieve. We explore what might be getting in the way and whether a different approach would make sense for you.
My background in the trades, including locksmithing, taught me to listen carefully, solve practical problems and follow through. I bring that approach to every client relationship, with straight advice and space for you to make an informed decision.
Outside my client work, I enjoy coding, exploring AI, building businesses and spending time with family. I'm curious about how things work and how to make them work better.
In his words
"Business is personal. I invest in understanding the people behind it before I ever talk about the marketing. When my clients grow, I grow with them, that partnership is what drives everything I do."
Anthony Holmes, Cairns
